Abstract | OBJECTIVE: STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study of cases of stroke associated with bacterial meningitis in 2 pediatric hospitals during a period of 15 years. Patients were included in the study if they were between 28 days and 18 years of age and had at least 2 serial neuroimaging studies during the acute phase of their illness. The safety of ATT was assessed by the presence or absence of intracranial hemorrhage. Efficacy was assessed by the failure in preventing stroke recurrence. Neurologic outcome was determined by the last documented Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure score. RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
